MS-DOS startup disk

FORMAT A: <press enter>

XCOPY C:\NTLDR A:\ /H <press enter>

XCOPY C:\NTDETECT.COM A:\ /H <press enter>

XCOPY C:\BOOT.INI A:\ /H <press enter>

Voila! It's a done deed. It makes no difference if you type small letters or large letters, they all mean the same. I usually post upper case letters for clarity but always type lower case for my own file script for expediency.

Remove disk and reboot. Hit spacebar when GoBack screen appears. Place disk in drive bay. Click on "Boot from Floppy" and you'll be on your way to Windows XP.

Good luck.

 

OK people You can rest now I finally done it ha-ha...

One more question Zephyr, when I try to view the contents of what I record to floopy disk, it´s empty.

What to do to view this files, I try Tools > Folder Options... > View > Show hidden files and folders but nothing happens

OK what to do???

I forget to tell You, the size of what I record to floppy disk is 262 KB, is that OK or it is different for everyone.

Thanks!!!

 

Another thing, I have only one partition C:, and it´s FAT32.
Doe´s this make any different???

I forget to tell You this before sorry

 

To view those files you will also need to "Uncheck" the box labeled "Hide protected operating system files" It's a couple lines below the "Show hidden files and folders" box that you checked.

Yes, 262 kbytes is the correct aggragate value for those files. It would not likely vary from that value unless you are running a dual boot system.

No, it makes no difference about your partition arrangement.

 

OK Zephyr, how can I thank You.
Can I do anything for You???

You know peple like You, people who are willing to help, are very rare, trust me!!!

Thank You very, very much!!!
